Placement of application services in converged infrastructure information handling systems

A system and method access domain information indicating placement domains for an information handling system. The placement domains may include fault domains and optimization domains, wherein an optimization domain includes one or more resources wherein a tier instance for each tier of a multi-tier application service resource can be instantiated such that inter-tier communication is internal to the domain. Tier instances may be placed in accordance with the placement domains to achieve compliance with high availability and performance objectives. Management endpoints corresponding to each resource may be monitored and, responsive to detecting a change in the infrastructure, updated domain information indicative of updated placement domains may be accessed and used to determine whether the placement of the tier instances achieves compliance with the objectives. If the current placement fails to achieve the objectives, the plurality of tier instances may be re-placed in accordance with the updated placement domains.
